I was able to do a sea trial with my new propeller, it worked perfectly as advertised.

The propeller designed by EWOL gave an extraordinary thrust to my boat. Thank you for the extreme accuracy of the calculations, for the courtesy of the pleasant conversations and for the timing of the supply, a rare occurrence today.
While the new propeller was being assembled for my boat, a Comet 311s, a young sailor approached me and told me: “but this is an Ewol propeller, it’s the best in the world.” I replied: I don’t know if it is the best, but the sea will give its answer “. After a cruise that from the Circeo touched Palmarola, Ponza, Ventotene, Procida, Positano, Amalfi and Salerno Marina d’Arechi, I can say that the performance was extraordinary. With the typical load of cruising with the Ewol propeller, Volvo 20/20 engine, 5.5 knots are reached at 2000 rpm and 6.5 at 2500 rpm, 1100 rpm below the maximum. Greetings,

L’ELICA PROGETTATA DA EWOL HA DATO UNA SPINTA STRAORDINARIA ALLA MIA BARCA
L’elica progettata da EWOL ha dato una spinta straordinaria alla mia barca. Grazie per l’estrema esattezza dei calcoli, per la cortesia delle piacevoli conversazioni e per il tempismo della fornitura, circostanza oggi rara.
Mentre in cantiere veniva montata la nuova elica per la mia barca, un Comet 311s, si è avvicinato un giovane velista che mi ha detto: “ma questa e un’elica Ewol, è la migliore al mondo”. Gli ho risposto: Non so se sia la migliore, ma il mare darà il suo responso”. Dopo una crociera che dal Circeo ha toccato Palmarola, Ponza, Ventotene, Procida, Positano, Amalfi e Salerno Marina d’Arechi, posso dire che il rendimento è stato straordinario. Con il carico tipico della crociera con l’elica Ewol, motore volvo 20/20 si raggiungono i 5,5 nodi a 2000 giri e i 6,5 a2500 giri, 1100 giri sotto il massimo. Grati saluti,

My yard fitted the EWOL propeller and we have been using it all August. I wanted to tell you that the propeller has been fantastic. It’s extremely smooth. The power and the pitch as delivered has been a perfect match for our engine where we get good performance in the mid range and still get excellent top speed.
Reversing is a breeze and thrust in reverse is excellent. And of course for the first time we can sail without the prop shaft spinning which is both (a lot) faster and quieter than we had before.
We had the propeller coated with PropSpeed and have had no issues with singing or strange noises.
I think your propeller is excellent and would happily recommend to anybody contemplating a conversion for a motorsailor such as ours where thrust under power is important.
Kind regards,
